Job Description
Space is a critical domain, connecting our technologies, our security and our humanity. While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities, where we can do more - we can innovate, invest, inspire and integrate our capabilities to transform the future.
At Lockheed Martin Space, we aim to harness the full potential of space to cultivate innovation, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of what technology can achieve. We're creating future-ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security® vision. We're erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We're advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. And we're reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity.

As a Level 2 engineer, you will play a critical role in leading the technical development and implementation of test and verification strategies for the NGG OPIR system. Your expertise will be instrumental in ensuring the successful integration, test, and delivery of the program's complex systems and subsystems. The Next-Gen OPIR satellites are designed to detect and track ballistic missile launches, providing early warning of potential attacks.
The SBIRS FTA Lab supports Space Vehicle design, development, qualification, and operations. The SBIRS FTA uses a combination of flight like hardware, emulations, software, simulations and tools to represent a fully functioning space vehicle on the ground or in orbit.
